Outrageously FUN - Jam Packed Day just SO So So fun! It was the most memorable tour of my Six Month stay. Take your bathing suit for pics under the waterfall, and CASH for hand made jewelry and clothing hand made by the women of the Amazon or else you will regret it. There is a huge lunch they don't mention and a light dinner at the Chocolate farm is a couple of bucks. Wait till you see the MIRADOR! you'll freak out! YOU MUST hike up for panoramic PHOTOS! I'ts Hip to Tip your Driver who is really a saint and drives like a bat out of hell. Have FUN!!!

Best trip to the Amazon from Baños - Our tour was an amazing experience from start to finish! We were late in the morning but they arranged for a private bus to pick us up and do the tour in great comfort. Ines our driver was wonderful, she made us feel really relaxed while they showed us the best sights around. Our tour guide Christopher was really fun and translated everything to us in English really well! He took some great photos of us and was just generally great to be around! Thanks for a wonderful day guys!

The best TOUR of the Amazon - Incredible experience... a super complete tour. Organization of 10.. The guide is very kind, patient and funny.. Incredible staff from the person in charge of the tours... to the bus driver and not to mention the people from the indigenous communities, those who take us in the canoes and the people who prepared our lunch, which was delicious... without a doubt. I would recommend them with my eyes closed.. Thank you Alexander tour for making this possible.. 😍🥰

Tour with Ecuadorian Amazon Adventures - The most memorable was the swing at high point lookout. I really enjoyed the whole tour but I’ll never forget how that swing made my stomach drop off the land like I was falling into the Amazon. It was amazing. The guide was great as well. He made the experience that much better

Amazing value! - We loved the swings overlooking the Amazon, that was one of my highlights visiting Ecuador! The rest of the tour was very well done, informative, lots of activities, and for an incredible value. The only setback was we started an hour late, our tour was during Carnaval, so there were some logistics troubles and delays throughout the day. Overall, a long day, but a great tour!
